Developed by SixSq, SlipStream is a multi-cloud application management
platform. It automates the full application management lifecycle,
including the deployment, testing, certification and optimization of the
application, within Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) cloud
infrastructures.

The software’s features appeal to a wide variety of different users:

End-users will use SlipStream as an application provisioning
engine to deploy virtual machines as well as full services, such as
data analysis clusters. Users will find that SlipStream’s multi-cloud
support makes deploying resources into different cloud
infrastructures uniform and transparent.

Service providers can use SlipStream to define customized images
and full systems (batch clusters, LAMP applications, analysis
platforms, etc.), creating a rich catalog of services that
end-users can deploy with the click of a button.

Software developers will be thrilled with SlipStream’s ability to
provide dynamic, near-production environments for realistic testing
of full software systems. Multi-cloud support takes this testing to
the next level, allowing the behavior of systems to be tested over
the wide area network.

DevOps practitioners can take advantage of SlipStream’s automation
and scaling capabilities to deploy, maintain, and optimize
production applications in multiple cloud infrastructures.
